You are living proof that we can change our minds throughout life. If it makes you happy to chase another dream, go for it. I've done so many different things, too, and trying to find what makes me happy. Writing is definitely it. I've been struggling with how to approach college with my daughter because she has no idea what she wants to do. I've said that she can change her mind but I remembering being that age and feeling the pressure to pick something. I think I'd like to see her go to college to just grow as a person because most people change their minds later in life.
It's so cool that you started a company and later went off to do something that would involve your love of clothes. You did so many different things and had so many cool experiences!
